Life cycle of plants

The Life Cycle of a Plant

Plants change as they grow. These changes form a pattern or cycle that repeats over and over again. The steps a living things takes during their life is called a life cycle. Most plants come from seeds. When a seed breaks and begins to grow to a small plant, it germinates.

​The plant then grows into an adult plant and forms leaves and flowers. A flower is the part of a plant that makes fruits that carry seeds. This helps the plant reproduce or make new plants like themselves.

Look at how a seed can become an adult plant with leaves and flowers.

The seeds slowly germinates and grows into an young adult plant or small plant.

As the plant continues to grow, flowers and fruits grow and help it reproduce.

Seeds everywhere!

​Seeds come in many shapes and sizes. When seeds are released from a plant, they are often carried to new areas. Water, wind and animals carry seeds to new ground.

When a seed lands in a good place, it begins to grow into a new plant.
